Murder charges are extremely serious. It is vital that you have an experienced San Diego criminal defense attorney if you or a loved one is currently suspected of murder or other violent crimes. There are multiple levels of murder charges including first degree murder (premeditated), second degree murder, and manslaughter. Within the charge of manslaughter there are three other levels of charges: voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and vehicular manslaughter. Each of these crimes is punishable with prison time ranging from 2 years to a mandatory 25 years to life in prison. Each of these crimes require a knowledgeable and skilled, serious felony criminal defense attorney to ensure that your rights and defense are handled with the utmost importance.
